Discover the grape variety: Dimiat
This variety is cultivated in practically all of Bulgaria, much more so in the region around the Black Sea. Among white varieties, it is still the most widely planted in this country, just ahead of rkatziteli. It is also found in the former Yugoslavia, Albania, Romania, Hungary, Turkey and Greece. It is believed to be the result of a natural intraspecific cross between coarna alba - a Romanian variety - and white gouais.

The village is surrounded on all sides by vineyards, the best of which produce some of the most prestigious, long-lasting and expensive dessert wines in the world. A half bottle of premium, aged Sauternes from a good Vintage can sell for over $1,000.
The wine region of Bordeaux
Bordeaux, in southwestern France, is one of the most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions in the world. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90% of the production Volume) are the Dry, medium and Full-bodied red Bordeaux blends for which it is famous. The finest (and most expensive) are the wines of the great châteaux of Haut-Médoc and the right bank appellations of Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The former focuses (at the highest level) on Cabernet Sauvignon, the latter on Merlot.
The word of the wine: Amylic
Aroma reminiscent of banana, candy, and sometimes nail polish, particularly present in primeur wines. The amylic taste is reminiscent of the aromas of industrial confectionery and does not reflect a great expression of terroir.
